I'll submit as much as I can upstream anyway after some more testing. cheers, Pádraig.

Packaging of noVNC and Websockets
by Adam Young 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

It looks like a couple of projects are interested in using the noVNC viewer as a way of talking to machines from a web browser. I've made a first stab at packageing them, and, in doing so, learned a little bit. The noVNC code is designed around a proxy that, under the Debian deploy, lives in /usr/share/noVNC/utils/. This directory contains shell scripts, a shared object complete with Makefile, and lots of python code. Needless to say, it does not match Fedora packaging standards. It uses the Websocket protocol, which is not quite HTTP. Apache HTTPD does not support Websocket natively, although there is apparently a path to do so via http://code.google.com/p/pywebsocket/. However, the noVNC approach is to bundle a simple web server and websocket implementation. In addition, a python script called websockify handles SSL. When deployed, the web proxy does not lock down browsing of sub dirs. When run from an init script that did not set cwd, it exposes the entire directory tree underneath. The normal usage is better: devstack runs $ cd /opt/stack/noVNC && ./utils/nova-novncproxy --config-file /etc/nova/nova.conf --web . Run this way, it only exposes the /usr/share/noVNC directory as read only, but really should not allow directory indexing. However, our current init script runs: daemon --user nova --pidfile $pidfile "$exec --flagfile $config --logfile $logfile &>/dev/null & echo \$! > $pidfile" where $exec is /usr/bin/nova-vncproxy. In my spec file, in order to match this, I moved the executables from /opt/stack/noVNC/utils to /usr/bin, but that does not seem like a good long term solution: they are generically named and should have novnc as part of their name as well. I've also and renamed /opt/stack/noVNC/utils/nova-novncproxy to /usr/bin/nova-vncproxy which seems like it should not be necessary. Currently, the Openstack specific code is in the upstream git repo for noVNC, but it really should be moved to the Nova git repository. I'll talk to the original author to find out his rationale, and to see if we can get it moved over. I've posted my current work here http://admiyo.fedorapeople.org/noVNC/ But would not suggest that people use it yet. I am certainly willing to take feed back on the spec file: http://admiyo.fedorapeople.org/noVNC/novnc.spec Dan B suggested a few things that I'd like to record here: 1. Is there a need to create a novnc user with an empty home dir to run in? 2. The python code should be made into a site-package.

Joshua, First off, thanks for getting something together. I think you have a bug in your spec file at line 1. After that I got it to build after renaming some directories. I am in the process of testing this out now in a devstack install.

I tried to improve the following: 1. Code cleanliness (constants being uppercase, paths using os.path.join and so-on) 2. Stripping out some of the odd handlers (byobu, right-scale and such) 3. Improving logging by a lot (so that u can debug this thing) 4. Making what handlers I left work on RH and ubuntu... Might be useful if u want to try it. I know just from doing the above work that the cloud-init for ubuntu, requires some work to get it to work on RH, but not tons, eventually I hope that I can merge this back, but for now its forked so that I could focus on getting it working and cleaned up, rather than pushing code through some review process via launchpad and such (ie the slow as molasses approach).

25 May '12

Hi, It's been about 2 weeks since the last status update, so here's the latest: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack_status_report_2012-05-24 Historical archives are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack_status_reports Cheers, Pádraig. (appended below for convenience) = Package updates = == openstack-nova == nova was synced with the stable branch incorporating [http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-nova.git;a=commit;h=07d81… 15 new fixes]. Alan Pevec also cleaned up the nova package dependencies removing many packages no longer needed by Essex. == openstack-glance == glance was synced with the stable branch incorporating [http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-glance.git;a=commit;h=bee… 5 new fixes] including a change to stop auto creating the database on service start, allowing for more robust control over the database. == openstack-keystone == keystone was synced with the stable branch incorporating [http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=openstack-keystone.git;a=commit;h=e… 1 new fix]. Also included there was a package dependency cleanup. Also related to dependency removal is the creation of a new [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824034 python-keystone-auth-token subpackage] for keystone to minimize dependencies in certain multi host setups. == oz == The OZ VM guest builder was updated to 0.8.0 in Fedora 16,17 and EPEL 6 which addressed many issues when using on current platforms. = new packages = == python-jsonschema == A [http://pbrady.fedorapeople.org/python-jsonschema/ python JSON schema validator was packaged] for Fedora to support the upcoming OpenStack Folsom milestone 1 (glance uses this). This is the first python JSON schema validator packaged for Fedora, so should be generally useful outside of OpenStack. == python-websockify and novnc == Adam Young prepared [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822182 python-websockify] and [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822187 noVNC] packages for review, to support vnc access to openstack guests through the web dashboard. == cloud-init for RHEL == An initial version of [http://pbrady.fedorapeople.org/cloud-init-el6/ cloud-init for RHEL] was prepared. There was immediate [https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg12106.html interest expressed] in adding the changes upstream. = Misc = == Fedora/RHEL OpenStack manuals == Anne Gentle prepared excellent [https://review.openstack.org/#/c/7431/ Fedora/RHEL documentation for the OpenStack manuals], which is currently under review upstream. == Diablo on EPEL == There was a request from Brookhaven National Lab as to how to continue using Diablo on RHEL (derivatives) given that EPEL has now updated to the Essex release. Older builds can be downloaded from koji, and these in conjunction with the yum-priorities plugin can be used to create a diablo repo on top of EPEL. A [http://pbrady.fedorapeople.org/openstack-diablo-el6/ convenience repository for Diablo on EPEL] was made available, containing instructions on how it was created and how to use it.

Scott, If you need someone to test your changes, I would be happy to do it. Please just give me some basic instructions on how to put it in place and I will get it working. As for your request for comments/features, personally I would like to see the following parts done initially: - hostname set to instance name - disk space resize to flavor size - ssh-key pull - report a random password for root user (or default user) if this is possible Thanks for looking at this. jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Moser" <smoser(a)ubuntu.com> To: "Pádraig Brady" <P(a)draigBrady.com> Cc: "Fedora Cloud SIG" <cloud(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>, "Andy Grimm" <agrimm(a)gmail.com>, "openstack" <openstack(a)lists.launchpad.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 12:51:42 PM Subject: Re: [Openstack] centos 6 images On Tue, 22 May 2012, Pádraig Brady wrote: > On 05/22/2012 03:39 PM, Andy Grimm wrote: > > On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 9:38 AM, Pádraig Brady <P(a)draigbrady.com> wrote: > >> On 05/22/2012 04:07 AM, Jason Ford wrote: > >>> I am trying to put together an image for centos 6 that works like cloud-init on ubuntu does.

I don't think it's a huge It would help if you'd bring that up with upstream :) I'm interested in cloud-init working in the most places it can.

If anyone has features / issues they'd like addressed in cloud-init, please feel free to ping me (smoser). I'll most likely ask you to open a bug at http://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init , and may even invite you to submit a patch. One way or another, though, I'm interested in making cloud-init better, so comments/concerns/participation is welcome and encouraged. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack(a)lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Does anyone want to join me in being a moderator on the cloud sig list? :D
by Robyn Bergeron 22 May '12

22 May '12

So, as most of you folks probably know, this list is moderated, not out of any sense of evilness but mostly from the perspective of "cloud is a really popular word these days and results in some spam pertaining to watches, pills, and my incredibly rich long-lost uncle who just left me 50 billion dollars." For those of you whose mails today were held up in moderation: Sorry. :) If anyone is willing to assist me in moderating non-list-member messages, I'd be happy to add one or two additional people, as I have not yet discovered how to clone myself. In a cloud. :D -robyn
